Right. If they are really desperate for help that does not turn over, they would raise wages. If your help is fungible, why bother? Or am I missing something?

- jfengel 6y agoThey have constructed their business model around fungible people. That has upsides and downsides. It's good for providing employment to young people without a track record and inconsistent schedules. It's bad for making any kind of career. Even managing is only barely a living wage, despite being the overwhelming task of dealing with those fungible workers. It's kind of useful that such a thing exists. But it's disappointing that it makes them the third largest employer in the US -- right behind Yum! Brands, who do pretty much the same thing. They turn out a product that people should consume sparingly but is instead one of the main food providers. In other words... a lot is broken. Poorly paid, disposable employees is just a tiny piece of it.
